In Part Five of this series on Evangelical Anti-intellectualism Anthony Alberino turns to Scripture to see if there is a case to be made there for anti-intellectualism.

When considered in context, none of these passages give any support for the notion that Christians ought to avoid learning or pursuing a life of the mind.
